The 2023 Pacific Four Series was the third edition of the Pacific Four Series, an international women's rugby union tournament that served as one of the principal qualification routes for the top two tiers of WXV. The tournament was hosted by Spain, Australia and Canada.[1]
The series took place over three months. The first round saw Canada and the United States play the opening match in Madrid on 1 April 2023, followed by Australia hosting New Zealand on 29 June 2023 in Brisbane. The series concluded in Canada with all four teams competing over two weekends in early July for the title.[1]
New Zealand retained their Pacific Four Series title after a comeback victory over the United States in Ottawa.[2]
Mya Brubacher and Sara Cline (both Canada) made their international debuts.
